An open day at Broomfield Hall in Morley on Sunday June 16 has been cancelled due to the weather. Fields that were due to be used for visitor parking are waterlogged and a decision has been made to cancel now to provide enough notice to the public.
Hello from Artcore,
June is set to be a busy month for us here; we have plenty of engaging workshops and activities planned for you all.
You’ve spring cleaned, now it’s time to summer spruce! Come on down to our new cycle of Monday and Wednesday workshops with Nicki Dennett and Victoria Brown. Explore painting and printing and make some patchwork cushions and lavender bags to decorate your home with.

Ben Schwarz presents Soapbox Racer - a new play about love, loss and connecting with your inner daredevil.

Won't it?
